We'll need to get to know each other well and build a trusted relationship. To get started here's a little part of my story, looking forward to hear yours.

Where it started
Prior to starting Pure Worx in 2018, I worked in the 3D Printing industry, at Materialise, for nearly 20 years. When I started, it was a small company, when I left it was a global, leading player with more than 2000 employees. That evolution gave me the opportunity to experience and contribute to many different perspectives of building a company - a great company, built to last. It made organisational development part of my DNA. During this rich career I have held many roles, from sales person to Executive Vice President, with involvements in nearly all facets of Materialise's business - which is extremely broad. I will happily tell you more about that when we meet. In all this, from the early days onwards, people have been my first and foremost priority. Building good teams and coaching the team members towards common goals, on the way to "the next step", has always come naturally to me. All the successes and the good performance I achieved in those years, I bring it down to that: working with the right people, in the right way. |
Where we are now
Despite the strong connection with Materialise, it was time for me to start something different, to spread my wings. I had this unstoppable desire to offer my varied, multi-cultural experience and coaching talent to more people, in more organisations. Next to that, I believe strongly in "doing good", in following your passion and values, to contribute to a better, more inclusive and more sustainable world. Sustainability is probably the biggest challenge of our time and it needs our undivided attention and unconditional action. When bringing that together, you get: a desire and drive to use my talent to coach people in a multi-cultural environment to high performance, so they can build sustainable businesses that contribute to a better world. It's with that mission in mind, that Pure Worx coaching was born. |
Your Coach: Wim
I'm Belgian, and have worked and lived in Surinam, Thailand and Malaysia with my loving wife and 2 wonderful children. Besides that, my professional geography included most of the Asia Pacific for the past 2 decennia and more recently Africa as well. The drive to live abroad was there when I was still a young boy, attracted by the exotic, unknown, intriguing big world. This curiosity and urge to explore is closely connected to my talent and passion as a coach: always eager to question, understand, discover. And while we need a plan and a map when travelling, the best trips are those where there is room for improvisation and changes. This is also true in coaching: we need to have an initial trajectory and will use some navigation tools, always ready to change direction and use other methods. Come travel with me! |
